Adam, My geography is hopeless ! Is Dorothy the ONLY child you know about ? or could she be the eldest or youngest of more than one ? Trying to guage of possible year of marriage for Bertie and Mum ! Dancer X 7th November would tally with Victors find ... I think you will find that she was born 7th November 1918 ...... and registered within the Dec qtr of that year.

No Adam, Unfortunately FreeBMD only goes upto 1911 at the moment, you definately need 1837online. Do you KNOW her birth date ? and WHERE she was born ? Dancer x

Adam

Adam Report 30 Apr 2005 21:51

thanks dancer....will i find that on freebmd?

Unknown Report 30 Apr 2005 21:49

Definately Adam! Dorothies birth certificate will give her Mum's name AND Maiden name, as well as actual date of birth and address where she was born. You will need to search the year of her birth on 1837online. You need to register and then purchase £5 of credit to look for her ...unless you KNOW her birth date ? Dancer x VICTOR ... are you going to 1837 if so I'll help you with 1919

Adam Report 30 Apr 2005 21:47
